Abstract
Abstract In an electrolytic capacitor the electrodes are separated by spacer material made of porous polypropylene film having an electrical porosity which results in lower equivalent series resistance, particularly at low temperatures. The electrolytes associated with the porous polypropylene are those having as a solvent, 2-methoxy-proprionitride, tri-n-butylphosphate, Nmethylpyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphortriamide, butylcellosolve, and N,N,-dimethylformamide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
36 words
IN AN ELECTROLTIC CAPACITOR HAVING A FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE AND A COMBINATION SEPARATING THE ELECTRODES OF A SPACER OF PORUS POLYPROPYLENE AND AN ELECTROLYTE IMPREGNATED IN THE SPACER HAVING AN ELECTROLYTE SOLVENT OF THE CLASS
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
IN AN ELECTROLTIC CAPACITOR HAVING A FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE AND A COMBINATION SEPARATING THE ELECTRODES OF A SPACER OF PORUS POLYPROPYLENE AND AN ELECTROLYTE IMPREGNATED IN THE SPACER HAVING AN ELECTROLYTE SOLVENT OF THE CLASS
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
In an electrolytic capacitor having a first and second electrode and a combination separating the electrodes of a spacer of porous polypropylene and an electrolyte impregnated in the spacer having an electrolyte solvent of the class consisting of tri-n-butylphosphate, N-methylpyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphortriamide, butylcellosolve, N,N-dimethylformamide, and 2-methoxypropionitrile, said combination having an electrical porosity above 14 and thereby providing to said capacitor a stable ESR-to-temperature change characteristic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
64 words
In an electrolytic capacitor having a first and second electrode and a combination separating the electrodes of a spacer of porous polypropylene and an electrolyte impregnated in the spacer having an electrolyte solvent of the class consisting of tri-n-butylphosphate, N-methylpyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphortriamide, butylcellosolve, N,N-dimethylformamide, and 2-methoxypropionitrile, said combination having an electrical porosity above 14 and thereby providing to said capacitor a stable ESR-to-temperature change characteristic.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
